The opening cutscene for the beginning of Half-Life 2 is my favorite in any game, bar none.

"Rise and shine, Mister Freeman, rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No-one is more deserving of a rest and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste unless... well lets just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mister Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes."

I don't find his quotes particularly interesting, but I absolutely love the voice actor's efforts. I guess I should be ashamed I don't know his name, because he owns. I always want to see more of him, so I hope the G-Man has a bigger role in Ep 3.

I imagine the gman has a very large role planned for the fictional episode 3, being as though he is the mysterious figure who points gordon freeman in the general direction of the combine, and is controlling it all like a game of chess. The 2 prevailing theories are that he is Gordon Freeman, obtaining special powers after having defeated the combine. Alternatively he is a higher being, playing a giant game of chess with another in the battle for earth. And in half-life 1 he was nothing more than an easter egg.

I think it'll be very predictable if they make him the guy who's controlling all the events single-handedly. I don't really want to find out who he is at all, it's better if there's some mystery left for us to speculate about.
